Firstly let me caveat, this discussion is not intended to be critical in anyway of APM. APM has moved ahead in strides and I acknowledge the great work of the developers and contributors in this…Continue
The Great APM 2.0 and 2.5 Mounting Mystery

I thought being the festive season a short story might be in order. Especially as Santa may have delivered some new 3DR APM presents recently to those not on the naughty list.Our Story begins back…Continue
Remzibi OSD, support for APM 2 and New GPS LEA-6

I noticed that the Remzibi OSD is still showing it is unsupported with APM2 in the 3DR online store. Does anyone know whether this is likely to change soon? It offers more features than the mini osd…Continue

I have been flying an arducopter quad for a while now and want to build an octocopter next to provide a more reliable platform for a better camera. I am hoping some of you could recommend a good…Continue

Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Thats hard to say without a comparative test. However the 3DR Ublox LEA6 GPS is what I would use since there is plenty of documentation, it has excellent sensitivity, is well tested and is programmed to match the latest APM GPS library. I noticed in…"
Greg commented on Jake Wells's blog post Salt Water Testing the BoxCopter"Jake just fantastic and those underwater images are so clear. I am thinkinkg you could go one step further and have an underwater system on a tether i.e land on water and then your sub could be released, do so,e exploring and then recovered before…"
Greg commented on Oliver's blog post News From The North: Oregon's Imaging Ban"Hilarious. Well done"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Randy thats great news on the GPS work. Based on what I have observed 10-15 seconds should catch most problems. I am good staying on 2.9.1 Now I understand the problem and what to look for I can still fly ok."
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Randy The hard work on these developments are appreciated. But this latest patch of 2.9.1 in the area of changing the time constant seems be a step backwards. You note that those more confident of there platform stability can change it back to 6 or…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Tridge thank you for the time and detailed analysis. Whilst I don't dispute that other local interference can affect the GPS, I am not sure why you think 7 satelites is not enough to get a 3D lock or even that a drop from 11 to 7 would explain…"
Greg replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?"Lorenz You said "APM 2.5, also not Arduino" APM is Arduino based and if you look at our diydrones development history you will see this. for the most part we all use the Ardunio IDE with APM. I was not aware the VRbrain could not be…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"Garrick this is pretty much what I have seen since running on 2.9.1 The initial thoughts were to blame the MTK but it is clear there is a definite connection to the problem between 2.8.1 and 2.9.1. I flew yesterday and again had these GPS track…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Randy I missed this one. I use the MTK with v1.9 Can you confirm My loiter rate P should not exceed 2.4 ie 0-2.4 is the range for MTK ? What effect would I be seeing using MTK on the default of 5?"
Greg replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?"It is of course early days but what is apparent is you will loose the ease of using the Arduino IDE and compling a new version to run like you can now with APM hardware. APM1 and APM2 are native ardunio platforms. PX4 is proprietary and has its own…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Jim your quad looks great and easy to see why you have less GPS interference now. My only suggestion if I may, is to increase the twist rate in those cables connecting peripheral devices e.g GPS. In general this helps reduce signal interferance.…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Gustav very nice write up and good advice on GPS operation."
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Jim, whilst I have a few other issues I decided to remove the 3DR telemetry unit today for my testing too. I had no issues and manged to get the copter to RTL on everty attempt. It certainly seems I had not as much GPS erratic position behaviour.…"
Greg replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Marco very good demonstration. I must look you up when I am in Italy at the begining if May. for my holidays. Would be great to see this development in person."
Greg replied to Randy's discussion AC 2.9.1 vs 2.8.1 GPS accuracy"I mention in an earlier post that Australia where I fly does not have WAAS (US) or EGNOS (Europe) Satellite Based Ausgnentation System (SBAS). As both the MTK on v1.9 and Ublox LEA-6H use WAAS/EGNOS by default and APM is expenting this, how do I…"

Simple GoPro mount and test video
Posted on May 7, 2012 at 6:30am 5 Comments 1 Like
While I am trying to decide on several dual axis camera mount options for the GoPro HD Hero2 and other cameras, I have come up with a very simple direct mount for the GoPro. Whilst not ideal, it has allowed me to enjoy the camera and capture a few flights with my medium lift arducopter quad. If you have…
